Side Hustle Tracker & Income Planner

What's inside

Revenue is the least useful number in a side hustle. This planner calculates what you actually keep per hour worked, sets up the three-account structure that keeps tax money safe, and turns an income goal into a weekly task list using customers × order value × frequency.
